Hi there,

I'm Jesse, from the Netherlands. I'm a mechanical engineering student, and 3D printing is my hobby.

I'm always trying to improve my printer, that's the most common reason i'm here.

Hi all, I'm Nicola. 😀
3D Geeks app users since its first release. I'm a product designer and I've been working with 3D Printers since six years. Actually I'm owner of a couple of custom i3 machines, one delta and a coreXY.

Hey All,

Welcome to the club, enjoy your stay! 😃

@Geaz Wow! That looks awesome, nice job! Really excited to see the final result of that handheld? Wil it be a Raspberry Pi based system?

Toby

Geaz

Toby Thank you! Yes, it will use a Raspberry Pi Zero W with a 5 inch display. I hope it will be finished in one or two weeks.

Here a picture of the inside:

Hi,

I'm Jay. I've been 3D printing on and off for around 8 years now. I built a reprap and then a prusa air. I then designed my own and I'm now on to deltas. Have a linear plus and a predator. I'm already a premium user as the app is better than the thingiverse one.

Toby

JayS Welcome Jay,
Sounds awesome, have you designed your own delta printers?

PS. Thanks for supporting 3D Geeks, it means a lot to us!

JayS

Toby Nah, I got some off the shelf ones. Slowly customising them to make them as good as they can be. Nothing beats a duet controlled machine

Toby

JayS That's cool Jay, I have never had the pleasure working with a duet board myself, i hear they are awesome. However it might be a bit overkill for a regular cartesian machine? I'm not sure!

Geaz Wow that looks awesome! Keeps us up to date with the progress. I'm sorry I'm not the only one to be excited for the result!

Hey everyone! I am Chris Riley from Chris's Basement on YouTube! I am really into 3D printing and all things surrounding it. Thanks to Toby for setting up this forum and inviting me to join. I am here to help if I can, this should be a great resource for the community. I am excited to see it grow.

I'm Mark, I have been playing with 3D printing since my family got me an Ender 3 for my birthday a couple of months ago.

I have upgraded and added things to my Ender 3.

I have been using PLA+ and finding things to print on thingiverse. I am starting to learn on how to create my own design using freecad and other programs.

There is a good chance that I will be medically retiring soon and if so, I hope to setup a MakerSpace near where I live to help kids learn about engineering and design.

Toby

moltra Hey Mark, Welcome to the club, That's a beautiful gesture, the kids are the future! Thanks for joining!

Hi, I'm Bill
I've been printing for just less than a year. The three printers I have are a monoprice mp i3, monoprice maker select, and an anycubic kossel.
The kossel has a duet 2 wifi board which has been a big improvement and a big learning curve.
The maker select is a basket case right now, I want to put a duet on it also. It's board died when I tried to use an accessory to extend the Sdcard, that ended up killing the SD card slot so I started with another board and haven't had time to get it running yet.
I'm hoping to build a custom kossel some day but the tevo little giant or anycubic predator might be a good path also.
My biggest project right now is figuring out petg in the kossel. I'm getting closer and closer to feeling comfortable with it.

My name is Harley, I'm just getting into 3d printing, I dont own a printer myself yet but use my friend Robs, I've been shopping for my first printer and have been looking into the creality line due to price and volume, dose anyone have a recommendation for a first printer? I'm currently using Robs A20. Looking to do alot more with printing like making my own action figures and collectable sculptures. Hope today finds you all doing well.

Toby

Aquaman7 Hey Harley,

So great to hear you like the app, we really try our best it's so pleasing to hear from you guys and see that you like the work we're doing!

About the printer, I myself have owned a lot of printers on and off. However I really think the Ender 3 is a great little machine especially considering it's price to performance ratio. Also it's pretty upgradable. But don't take my word for it as I'm only 3D Geek! Might i suggest creating a discussion in which one to buy. Maybe some members of the community can clear out any questions you might have!

Thanks for joining the Club!

Toby thank you for creating this app, I love it and it functions better then any other 3d printing app I've used, please keep up the great work 😁

Toby thank you

Hello and good day to you all.

Well, my name is Scott in real life but I tend to stick with Scalda online. I do have a youtube channel over at ScaldaYT. And some of you may know me from the EU 3D Mystery Box. But I am happy to be here and I am hoping this will end up being a great resource for the 3d printing community.

Catch you all soon

Scalda
